| does mixing kill the soundstage? Slartibart, it has been a long time since I paid close attention to engineering. I used to produce in the 80's, and have been teaching since the 90's. You are inspiring me to take a more active hand in the recording project I am just beginning. Th... | |
| does mixing kill the soundstage? Slartibart, thanks for the heads up on the Ry Cooder/V.M. Bhatt recording. I also prefer a live 2 track analogue recording at 30 ips. I have done this previously on a few demos, and love the feeling of a real event being captured. Unfortunately, t... | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? Hi Leafs, just trying to inject a bit of levity. The point was that wine does not continue to get better and better. After it reaches its peak, it begins a slow fading process. I do remember another post mentioning cable simply wearing out. I'm su... | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? That is, until they are past their peak, and begin to fade. | |
| It never ends.... Vermonter, start with a good digital cable, do the long speaker cable runs later. Harmonic Tech Cyberlink Platinum, or Acoustic Zen MC2 come to mind. If system is bright at all, try MC2, if neutral, try H.Tech. | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Greg makes a good point, if someone moves a throw pillow to a different chair in my house, I would notice it, and say that it was a significant change (positive, or negative). If someone comes to my house, and is not very familiar with it , that p... | |
| does mixing kill the soundstage? Thanks 61. | |
| does mixing kill the soundstage? Just to add a bit to 61's post, there is always the actual room sound aspect of recording vocals, piano, acoustic guitars, etc. that can help an engineer create a convincing soundstage, even within the artificial environment 61 so well describes. ... | |
| Dielectric? Just got back from a hectic weekend, and it's great to see all of these interesting ideas. Unfortunately my TV seems to have blown up, so I'll have to think about this some more later. Al, I don't think the change in sound I experienced was a shif... | |
| Dielectric? Hi JD, I didn't find anything ridiculous in your post. Just interesting thoughts and questions. This week I am breaking in both a new Sony DVP-9000ES, and an Acoustic Zen MC2 coax. I had reason to unplug the coax and reinsert it 10 seconds later. ... | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... A system that allows for long listening periods without discomfort. | |
| Trelja in New York One more thing, congratulations to Stereophile, Stereophile Guide to Home Theater, and Home Theater magazines for presenting such an exciting and fun event. The flaws were still only a minor aspect of the show. many dealers were helpful and offere... | |
| Trelja in New York The vendors at the A/V show are supposed to be the most concerned with the proper demonstrations of their products, after all, they are trying to sell you something. Instead of the majority of companies making an extra effort to enhance their pres... | |
| Trelja in New York Dako, you are right, the Krell speakers were great, but at ten grand they should be! I don't quite understand the marketing of a 10 grand small speaker, I mean why not just buy a full range speaker if you care enough to spend $10,000? Maybe it is ... | |
| Trelja in New York Trelja, It's a bit late so I'll make it quick. I was at the show Friday, but could not attend Sat. I will try to go tomorrow. Are you still in town? Would be happy to meet and greet you there. First impression: Go to the Sound by Singer room and l... |
